Seconded by Mr. Shoemaker. Ayes -15. Noes -0. Carried. Mr. Murray, Chairman of the Legislative Committee, sub- mitted the following report of that committee: The committee recommends that favorable action be taken upon Assembly Bill Int. No. 2590, amending Section 408 of the County Law. This section as written requires that all purchases involving an expenditure of more than $1,000 shall be by contract let to the lowest responsible bidder after public; advertisement. The amendment excludes from this re- quirement purchase of materials for highway construction and maintenance and snow and ice control when the cost does not exceed the rates applicable to the state for the purchase of the same. The amendment also provides that where there are competitive bids for different makes of machinery or equipment, the lowest responsible bid with respect to any make may be accepted. The committee recommends that favorable action be taken upon Assembly Bill Int. No. 2589, amending Section 200 of the County Law relating to the compensation of members of the Board of Supervisors. The amendment authorizes the Board to pay an additional amount to a member of the Board who is designated as Budget Officer. With respect to Assembly Bill Int. No. 2588, which amends Section 201 of the County Law by permitting the compensa- tion of county officers to be increased during their term of office, the committee feels that this should be permitted only to the extent of authorizing cost of living adjustments. In other 'words, the committee feels that the Board should be March 12, 1951 41 free at any time to adjust compensation of county officers by means of emergency compensation and does not favor the policy of permitting general increases in salary during the term of office. The committee recommends the enactment of Assembly Bill Int. No. 2230, which provides that no person shall be required to possess a college or university degree or college or univer- sity training or equivalent educational requirement in order to hold the position of case worker in the Welfare Department, The committee is opposed to the enactment of Assembly Bill Int. No. 2087, which provides for fees to the County Treas- urer for services as appraiser in transfer tax proceedings. The committee feels that the compensation of the County Treasurer should be in the form of salary or cost of living ad- justment, without extra fees for particular services. The committee recommends the enactment of Assembly Bill Int. No. 2671, which would make it optional with Boards of Supervisors to make the office of Commissioner of Public Welfare an appointive office rather than an elective office ; and since the committee considers this more important than any of the other matters, it presents a resolution for the adoption of this recommendation. Resolution No. 30 Approving Legislation To Make The Of- fice of Commissioner of Welfare Ap- pointive Mr. Murray offered the following resolution and moved its adoption : Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Legislative Com- mittee, that this Board approves and urges the enactment of Assembly Bill Int. No. 2671, Print No. 2820, which gives the Board of Supervisors power to provide by local law that the office of County Commissioner of Public Welfare shall be ap- pointive. Seconded by Mr. Wilkinson. Carried. 42 March 12, 1951 Resolution No. 31 Purchase of County Car Mr. Conley offered the following resolution and moved its adoption : Resolved, that the Purchasing Committee, be authorized to purchase for the sheriff's department one 1951 Chevrolet de- luxe, 2 door sedan, equipped with 105 horsepower engine, power glide transmission and special rear axle, and including airflow heater, spot light, seat covers, heavy duty springs, heavy duty 40 amp generator and 19 plate battery at a price of $1803.65. The allowance on the 1948 Chevrolet 2 door sedan to be traded is $815.00 making the net bid price on this unit $988.65. Seconded by Mr. VanDeBogart. Carried. Mr. Edward R. Eastman, Editor of the American Agricul- turist and a member of the Board of Regents of New York State appeared before the Board stressing the need for the training of school children along local levels of government. He deprecated the lack of interest in politics shown on the local level and cited a recent instance in which students failed to know the names of their own supervisors although they knew the names of national representatives. He urged super- visors to attend their local school meetings and to encourage their constituents to do likewise, thereby enjoying the oppor- tunity for individuals to be heard in matters pertaining to their every day lives. Resolution No. 32 Approval of County Sealer's Bond Mr. Vail offered the following resolution and moved its adoption : Resolved, that the undertaking of the County Sealer in the amount of $1,000 executed by Carl Roe as Principal and the Glens Falls Indemnity Company as Surety being No. 465257, be and the same hereby is approved as to amount, form, man- ner of execution and the sufficiency of the surety. Seconded by Mr. Walpole. Carried. Mr. Shoemaker, Chairman of the Tax Sales, Erroneous March 12, 1951 43 Assessments and Returned Taxes Committee, reported on the Billing's property in the town of Danby, and suggested that a survey be made to enable the county to sell, thus return- ing the property to the tax roll. Mr. Conley moved that the committee arrange with Carl Crandall to make a survey of the Billing's property in the town of Danby. Seconded by Mr. Ozmun. Carried. Mr. Greenwood, Chairman of the Fire Protection Commit- tee, reported that Ben Sanford would serve as assistant to the Director of Civil Defense in charge. of fire co-ordination work without salary except for traveling expenses. Mr. Vail, Chairman of the Insurance Committee, reported that the insurance company requested a revaluation of the county buildings and that it must be made before the next board meeting. Discussion followed. Mr. Vail moved that the board as a whole approve the filing of a new statement of values on county buildings, not greater than a 20% increase as quoted by the insurance en- gineer. Seconded by Mr. Conley. Carried. . Messrs. Downey, Walpole and Conley reported on a trip they made to Syracuse in regard to conditions of state roads in Tompkins County and found the state officials in sympathy with the problems as confronted by highway officials. Mr. Downey then reported on a trip he made to Albany in regard to construction or reconstruction of highways in Tomp- kins County for 1951. He found that a very few miles of roads would be improved this year due to lack of funds. Mr. Conley moved that the county purchase two desks and chairs for the civil defense office for the sum of $381. Seconded by Mr. Walpole. 44 March 12, 1951 Discussion followed and the motion was lost by voice vote. Mr. Bower moved that the matter of desks for civil de- fense be left with the Civil Defense and Purchasing commit- tees ommittees to secure desks and chairs at a more reasonable figure if possible.

Seconded by Mr. VanDeBogart. Carried. The Budget Director read his Budget message to preface the presentation of the tentative budget. November 15, 1951 211 BUDGET MESSAGE To the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County As your Budget Director I am submitting a tentative budget which in the main complies with your reports upon the esti- mates made by our various departments for the year 1952. This is the largest budget Tompkins County has ever had. The gross budget is $3,390,361.29 with the estimated revenues to be used against the budget of $1,983,623.34. As the State has demanded that all counties follow the same uniform system as set up in their budget manual, it has been necessary for us to make a complete change in the form of our budget. To me it seems harder to understand and more complicated than our old budget. This budget I believe is a complete budget which will be adequate for the coming year. As the Hospital budget has not yet been submitted to the Board of Supervisors by the Health Coordination Committee, I have included in the tentative budget the estimates as presented by the Board of Managers. The State requires that all the estimated surplus of Dec. 31, 1951 be used to lower the budget. Therefore on the recommen- dation of our County Treasurer, Don Stobbs, I have included in this budget a Reserve for Tax and Revenue Anticipation Fund for $250,000 which will be taken out of surplus. This will require endorsement by the Board of Supervisors. This fund is a fund from which the Treasurer can borrow until taxes come in. Then the money is put back in this fund until another year. In other words, it is the nearest to a working capital we are allowed to have. The net budget is $1,066,464.02 or about $24,000 higher than last year's final budget but the increased assessed valua- tion of our county should lower the county tax rate a few cents. For the first time our estimated County Road Fund Surplus and Machinery Fund Surplus are used to lower the budget. I am filing a copy with our Clerk, Mrs. Buckingham, and also have copies for our Finance Committee and other mem- bers of the Board. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) Harvey Stevenson 212 November 15, 1951 A copy of the above mentioned budget was filed with the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Following distribution of the tentative budget the Budget Director reviewed it briefly for the Board. Mr. Wilkinson questioned the necessity for supporting both the County Director of Veterans Agency and the office of the County Service Officer. The county treasurer who was present was asked for his opinion of both offices and he stated that he believes that the duties of the offices do not overlap since Mr. Knettles handles claims, while Mr. Holman's office deals with on-the- job training, reemployment, etc., and that the offices refer veterans to the other office when necessary. General discussion followed and Mr. Wilkinson offered the following motion : Moved that the County Service Officer be reclassified and called the Deputy County Director and all materials, supplies and expenses be implemented as may be determined. Seconded by' Mr. Conley. Some opposition was expressed to the wording of the mo- tion which suggested the County Service Officer become Dep- uty County Director, whereupon Mr. Wilkinson reworded the motion with the approval of the second to read : Moved that the County Service Officer shall be assigned to ;the County Director Agency and all materials, supplies and ,,expenses shall be implemented as may be determined. Discussion followed and Mr. Vail moved that the question be referred to the Veteran's Committee and the Committee on Civil Service and Salaries to try to find a satisfactory solution. ;Seconded by Mr. Bower. Carried. November 15, 1951 213 Mr. Conley moved that Wednesday, November 28 at 7:30 P.M. be set as the date for the public hearing en the tentative budget. Seconded by Mr. Bower. Carried.

MILLER, Co. Supt. Highways 374 Proceedings of the. Board of Supervisors ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COUNTY PROBATION OFFICER AND CLERK OF THE CHILDREN'S COURT OF TOMPKINS COUNTY, FOR 1951 To the Board of Supervisors : While the number of formal cases handled in the Tompkins County Children's Court remained about the same as in recent years and the total of probationers supervised in Supreme, County, Justice of Peace, and Children's Courts varied only slightly from prior years, the amount of support collected for dependent children from the parents of broken homes showed its usual annual increase during the last year, 1951. Final support total of $67,323.28 as of Dec. 31; 1951, was more by $4,694.03 than the 1950 total and $11,989.28more than in 1949. Needless to say, every dollar collected in this manner by the County Probation Department and turned over to the custodians of dependent children, saves an equal amount being expended -by the county welfare department in aid to dependent children or public assistance. And of . the 1951 collection, the sum of $7,703.88 was paid overto the Welfare Commissioner to reimburse for expenses of dependent children_ placed in boarding homes and institutions, while in. 1950 the sum of $4,148.18 was thus paid to the County, an increase of $3,555.70. On Jan. 1, 1951 the- probation officer was collecting from 141 men and women, total 144, while on Dec. 31, 1951, there were 155 -men and five women left on probation for the payment of support for children, an increase during the year of 16- cases. During the year collections were made for 191 different families, an increase of 'nine over, 1950. Your probation officer believes that an assistant in the office who could give undivided time to the collection of sup- port funds would increase the amount of support collection. about $10,000, and might easily save thewelfare department a large part of .that sum now contributed as supplemental aid. Personnel of the Children's Court and Probation offices con- sists now of only two persons, the probation officer and clerk, and one bookkeeper, typist and stenographer combined. Total cost of operation of the two departments in 1951 was $9,053.76, broken down as follows : Judge's salary • $3,000 ; Tompkins County, New York 375 salary of probation officer.and clerk, $3,350.00; salary of typist and bookkeeper, $2,490.00 ; office .expenses $213.76 out of a budget of $700.00, resulting in $486.24 being turned back. to the County. There were 466 formal cases in Children's Court in 1951 as against 475 in 1950 and 516 in 1949. Delinquent children numbered 46 in. 1951 as against 49. in 1950 and 61 in 1949, ,a gradual decrease. Neglected children totaled 76 in 1951, 78 in 1950 and 63 in 1949. There were 70 physically handicapped children's orders in 1951 as against 71 in 1950 and 89 in 1949. In 1951 there were 253 men and 19 women haled before the Court as against 257 men and 20 women in 1950 and 295 men and eight women in 1949. To begin the year 1951, the County Probation Department was supervising a total of 235 persons,and the year ended with 263 on the probation lists, an increase during the year of 28 cases. Children's Court had 36 boys, five girls, 141 men and three women on probation to start the year and closed the year with 40 boys, six girls, 155 men and five women on pro- bation for an "increase of 21 cases. The Supreme and County, Courts started the year with 40 men and five women on pro- bation and closed the year with 45 men and fivewomen being supervised for an increase of five cases. In Justices Courts an increase of two cases -was noted, seven men being left on pro- bation to start .the new year... ..

Respectfully, CLIFFORD C. HALL, Sheriff, Tompkins County 384 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors REPORT OF THE COUNTY HISTORIAN FOR 1951 To the Board of Supervisors The County Historian herewith presents a summary of his activities for the year 1951. A project involving most of my time and effort as County Historian was the publication of The Origin of Place Names in Tompkins County.. Extensive research was made to in- sure this publications historical accuracy, and it should pro- vide a lasting source for factual information. The Board of Supervisors by resolution dated April 9th gave permission to the Tompkins County Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution to dedicate the existing flagpole on the Court House grounds to be known as the, Tompkins County Liberty Pole. It was so dedicated on April 19th in a ceremony in which local patriotic organizations and citizens took part. The principal speaker on this occa- sion was the Hon. James W. Wadsworth of Geneseo, former U. S. Senator and Representative. A bronze tablet commem- orating the event and donated by Clarence F. Morse, is affixed to the flagpole base. During the year the County Historian gave six lectures on local history to various county organizations. Several brief talks were given- to school groups who visited the Historical Museum. Replies were given to many requests received by mail for historical information and likewise, many personal requests were satisfied. Respectfully submitted by, W. GLENN NORRIS, ' Tompkins County.

W. MUNGLE Vice President RWM :EC Tompkins County, New York 411 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WELFARE FOR 1951 Chairman Stevenson and Members of the Board of Super- visors: I herewith make my report for the Department of Public Welfare for 1951. The only report I can make for the first six months is the report shown by the figures, number of cases in each category and the amount expended. When my term, of office, began on June 15th I found an un- healthy condition from perhaps different causes. In the Pub- lic Welfare Division there were 180 cylinders not transcribed and 100 in the Child Welfare Division. This meantthere were several hundred cases without the history recorded. You were kind to me and permitting my hiring extra help and the necessary machines to catch this up. There is still some dicta- tion not up to where it should be but in the next few months it will be on a different basis and assistance in the regular way will not be issued until the dictation is in. I do not know how they have dared issue assistance as they have in the past., Beginning in July we started the repairs on -the outside of the County Farm buildings and you have the report of the work accomplished and the cost. Probably the most disturbing issue the Department has had in years is Bulletin 134 establishing a statewide uniform budget under the orders of the State Department of Social Welfare and the Government Division of Social Security. We have not yet received approval for all sections but have most of it underway. We are not sure how many employees are going to be needed to effectively keep up the detail, and if we are foolish enough to yield to all .they request, it will cost an additional $100,000 so that the reductions your bodys seen fit to make in our carefully figured budget estimate will leave the Department in a very embarrassing position. The table of expenditures will show we had an unexpended bal- ance of $40,310.56 which was returned to the General Fund balance December 31st. The new standard accounting system is not going to re- 412 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors lieve our detail if we can interpret the rules and find the troubles other welfare " departments are having with their county treasurers. We have had several changes in personnel but I hope we are now in position to have less worries after the examinations for Social Workers are completed on March 1st. By July 1st there should be an eligible list to fill the seven positions now filled by provisional appointments. The County Farm income estimated will show in the item- ized figure reports. Under Mr. Exton's careful management we are showing good returns, including what we use ourselves in the support of the employees and inmates. We are reorganizing our hospital billing for 1952and our control of medical cases, drugs and hospital care and feel sure, with the cooperation of the Tompkins County Medical Society, we will affect a savings and better record. I hope I may be able to make a complete report for 1952 and show economy in administration and a lessening of relief costs if we can keep down the applications. We know this is going to be a big job as all costs are on the increase. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H.

Throughout the period, communication test exer- cises were held with the minimum of one each week. This involved receipt of an "alert" from the Key Air Raid Warning Center at Binghamton, N. Y. to the dissemination of this alert to all subsidiary air raid 422 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors warning centers throughout Tompkins County. Ground Observer exercises were .conducted on a regional or larger basison the following dates : February 10th & llth April 14th June 23rd &24th December 1st On the above occasions the observation posts in the county were manned and in operation. During the period covered by this report, many improvements were effected. in the observation facili- ties for ground observers, including new or reno- vated buildings, heat, telephone, and improved ob- servation facilities. (3.) Training Exercises 1. A surprise command post exercise following a "Yellow" alert was conducted at the County Court House at 1 :00 P.M. Sunday, September 23rd, 1951, and about 50 Civil Defense volunteers participated. •It was assumed that Binghamton had been "bombed" and Tompkins County had been requested to send aid to the stricken area. _ 2. On Saturday, October 6th, 1951, _ 149 Civil Defense volunteers participated in a test exercise in Bing- hamton, N. Y. The following services were represent- ed : fire, rescue, medical, police, transportation and welfare. This exercise proved most interesting and instructive. (4.) Operational Plans The preparation of Operational Plans for the .em- ployment of the Civil -Defense volunteers in Tomp- kins County in the event of a disaster by far occupied the major portion of the, time of this office for the period Feb. lst to Nov. 15th, 1951. These plans have been completed and submitted ' to the N.Y. State Civil Defense Commission for approval. They will re- quire constant change and revision. i Tompkins County, New York 423 (5.) General a. The Director, the Chief of the Recruiting and Train- ing Branch, the Chief of the Training Branch for Educational Institutions and the Assistant Director in charge of the Warden Service have made many evening and afternoon addresses on Civil Defense before various civic groups, including PTA groups, throughout the county, such talks usually being accompanied by slides and moving pictures. b. Tompkins County was the first county to have on display the Civil Defense Exhibit which appeared at the New York State Fair in Syracuse in 1951. This exhibit in the form of an open book, measur- ing 9 feet high, and 18 feet across, was made up of diagrams, photographs, and explanations of • the Civil Defense program with special reference , to the atomic bomb. Excellent publicity forthis ex- hibit was given by the Ithaca Journal, the Syra- cuse Post Standard and Radio Station WHCU. c. The Louis Agassiz Fuertes Council Boy Scouts of America and the Tompkins County Emergency Corps have cooperated in the Civil Defense Pro- gram so as to deserve special mention. The former organization is prepared to furnish over 450 mes- sengers and render other Civil Defense Services. The latter organization is held in reserve and will be employed in police work, first aid, communica- tions or any one of many fields of activity for which it is trained. d. The Director, the Assistant- Director for Warden Services and the Chief of the Recruiting and Training Branch pursued a weeks' course of in- struction at the Civil Defense Staff College in Olney, Md. from Oct. 14th to 20th, 1951. e. Throughout this period, the organizational "setup" was made more complete, volunteers were notified as to their assignments and correspondence and files brought up to date. f. On June 11th, 1951, Tompkins County became the. 424 Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors first county in New York State to fully cover all Civil Defense volunteers by the Workmen's Com- pensation Act while engaged in civil defense train- ing or practice. 2. Future Activities (a) Classes of Instruction These classes will continue throughout 1952 for all services as an untrained volunteer is a liability rather than an asset. (b) Command Post Exercises These exercises will be conducted for "Key" per- sonnel at the County Court House at 7 :30 P.M. on the evenings of January 31st, February 28th, March 27th and April 24th. (c) "OPERATION ITHACA" This will be an all-inclusive Civil Defense test in- volving most of the Civil Defense volunteers in the County and will be conducted on May 24th, 1952. The Director of the N.Y. State Civil Defense Commission and members of his staff have been invited to attend. 3. Inspection A representative of the N.Y. State Civil Defense Com- mission inspected this headquarters on November 9th, 1951 and gave, in part, the following conclusions : "`The organization and arrangement of the offices with their files and records is the best seen yet. It is plainly evident that Civil Defense has made an excellent beginning here, is now well started and that progress is being made." 4. Conclusion In conclusion, it is desired to express the appreciation Tompkins County, New York 425 of this headquarters, to the Mayor of the City of Ithaca, to the Chairman of and to the County Board of Super-_ visors and to the Volunteers in Civil Defense for their generous support, their interest and understanding in our Civil Defense effort.
